5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/7/18
The Cavs and Nuggets combined for 243 points just four days ago. Where can we find cheap options in what's expected to be one of the highest-scoring games of the night?

Jarell Martin, PF, Memphis Grizzlies

FanDuel Price: $4,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 15.2
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.22

Power forward is a giant mess on Wednesday. You're probably going to want to pay up, but if you opt to be contrarian, Jarell Martin might be your best option. He is officially questionable to play, though he was listed as probable before sitting out on Monday. Hopefully, that means he comes back at 100% and plays 25-plus minutes for the Grizzlies.

The downside is that the Grizzlies are much healthier in the frontcourt than they are in the backcourt. It's likely that Martin comes off the bench behind JaMychal Green, thereby limiting his upside. However, Martin's played minutes at both forward spots -- he actually started at small forward five games back.

As a standalone play, Martin -- barring unforeseen circumstances -- isn't going to go for 30-plus FanDuel points against the Chicago Bulls. Still, the Bulls are an exploitable defense. Since the break, they have a pace of 101.5 with a 110.3 defensive rating -- a mark that ranks 22nd in the league over this period of time. They'll also be dealing with some forced changes to the rotation, so Martin isn't the worst option if you're willing to pay down.
